Mechanical and chemical analyses of the deposits of the LoDaisKa Site
were made in an attempt to establish whether or not any paleosols or
ancient weathered zones were present. No clear profile development
could be observed in the field and it was hoped that laboratory
analysis might confirm this impression. The occurrence of such
features might serve for correlation between sites in the area and
aid in interpreting the paleoclimatic and geomorphic history of the
deposits (Miller and Leopold, 1953).
